Samsung: Samsung UN55B8500 - Samsung Rep Question

Samsung UN55B8500 - Samsung Rep Question

Hey Samsung guys! I'm not sure if you will be able to help but I know Samsung announced the LED backlit B8500 series of TV's back in July and showed them at CEDIA earlier this month in Atlanta. The big problem I'm having is that nobody can tell me when they will be available here in the USA. I've heard everything from "this week" to "Nov 1" to "I don't know as Samsung is not telling us.".

Could any of you provide information on when this tv will be available? Thanks!

Lindsey
